Big Bird’s recent announcement about receiving the COVID vaccine has sparked a wave of reactions from conservative figures and GOP members. While there are many legitimate issues to be outraged about—such as individuals who mistreat retail workers or shame young girls for their clothing choices—some are channeling their anger towards a fictional character getting vaccinated to encourage real children who may be hesitant about the shot.

It seems that Texas Senator Ted Cruz and others have found time to express their discontent over this seemingly innocuous event. For context, Big Bird, the beloved six-year-old Muppet, recently became eligible for the Pfizer vaccine as the FDA approved the vaccine for children aged 5 to 11. On Saturday, Big Bird shared his experience on Twitter, stating, “I got the COVID-19 vaccine today! My wing is feeling a little sore, but it’ll give my body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy.”
